Many thanks to Colin Murphy for supplying the idea for this challenge.

This is probably the simplest challenge so far.

It is very simple. Create and upload a SOLIDWORKS model containing one solid body with 2 faces depicting a Möbius strip.

The first person to upload a model created using SW features (no Imported Geometry, please) will be awarded 5,000 points and as much beer he or she can drink at the 3DEXPERIENCE World 2020 (valid attendee pass required).

Notice in the picture below that the display style is Shaded with Edges, and only 2 edges are visible:

In the moment when i noticed that a new challenge is on the run, it is already over… sad.

My approach is adopted from Ingvar Magnusson (good work!). But my base geometry was build up a little different, and i added some guide lines to make sure, the profile is correct. Maybe it works without them, but i just want to guarantee...

(Perhaps i will test the existing variants against each other in this point - or maybe i leave this up to Alin )

I just joined the forum due to struggeling with one of my models. I cannot seem to start a topic, is there a minumim post limit before this becomes available?

Thanks,

Olle

Hi Olle,

To avoid spammers, all posts by new members automatically go into moderation just like this post did. You should be able to create a new thread to ask your question in the appropriate space in the forum. Just be patient, because it will go into moderation initially until a moderator approves it. After some time, you will be able to post without automatically going into moderation (but I am not going to tell you how long since we don't want the spammers knowing all of the rules or they will just find ways around them).

i'm sorry to say, but it's not a Moebius strip. The key is, that the one side leads into the other. Means you'll need only 0.5 revelations instead of 1 ore more. And this will result in a body with only 2 sides/faces. One main face and the other is the edge face.
